Why I decided to become a financial advisor: Today's world of investing is complex and takes time to do research to make appropriate decisions in a timely manner. All to often families fall prey to financial predators that attempt to sell high cost products and lock up their hard earned money. Even though the world of investing is changing many financial companies apply unrealistic goals. Employees of these financial firms are put under career and goal stress to achieve them despite often knowing those products are of poor choice. I became a financial advisor to provide the greatest quality of products and service i know this industry can provide and that you deserve. Caring means putting our clients first among all else which is why I have taken the oath of a fiduciary advisor. I began my career at Meridian Asset Management and have held many bank management positions over the years. I have extensive experience working with upper level managers and their families. I hold a Bachelors degree in Accounting from PennState, a masters degree, and am a Certified Financial Planner. I take part in many volunteer functions such as scouting, coaching, and community projects.

first. I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and to show you how I do things differently."

I started my career more than 20 years ago at a large financial services firm in Philadelphia and returned to the Lehigh Valley to found Milestone Financial Associates in 2002, providing comprehensive wealth management for successful families and business owners in our community. My firm's success has allowed me the freedom to be selective in working only with clients I like, for whom I believe I can have a meaningful impact. That is a game changer. Along with the success I've enjoyed, I've had my share of failure as well. I am divorced, and as I reflect on what was undoubtedly the most painful experience of my life, I realize that I am able to relate, not just to the legal and financial aspects with others who are divorced, but I have tremendous empathy for all who have suffered loss and who must now try to revise their financial plans for a future that seems impossibly different than the one they envisioned. I embrace widows, widowers, and divorcees in my practice. The greatest joys in life are my three boys - Ben, Nate, and John. We have busy lives together, between Boy Scout campouts, food drives, hikes, football and basketball practices and games, homework, and listening to the unbearable honking of Johnny learning to play the saxophone! There is never a dull moment!

I have lived my whole life in Delaware County, first raised in Newtown Square with my parents and 2 older sisters. I graduated from Devon Preparatory school, with much appreciation for a good Catholic school education. Then I graduated from Villanova University with a degree in Sociology & Business. I broke my leg in March 2001, but I was still able to get back on my feet in time join my classmates at graduation two months later in May. For 2 years, I worked for a family owned local brokerage firm, supporting most of the sales reps in the office. I joined my family firm in May 2003, where I am currently a practicing CPA and a holder of the CFP® designation. I am currently the managing partner, but Id be nowhere without the help of our staff, Bernadette, Lorraine, Betsy & Michael. My education, credentials, experience and staff give me the ability to integrate clients financial goals with smart investment and tax planning. I currently live in Wayne with my wife and 3 kids. The most challenging thing Ive done was a 30 day live-in program for students of Aikido, a Japanese martial art. I spent the month of July 2004 in Chicago, living and training with other like-minded Americans and Europeans, and eventually earning my black belt in July 2006, after 7 years of training.\

About Janney Montgomery Scott LLC

How I Work With Clients Long-term focus and discipline start with a sound investment strategy. The first meeting is a complimentary consultation. I like to get acquainted with you and your family to discuss your current financial condition and determine your invetment objectives. Once we begin a business relationship, we proceed to gather all of your financial data, which includes current investments, income, assets, insurances and any debts or loans. Upon determining your goals and objectives, we then analyze the information and agree upon a financial plan. Once an investment plan is agreed upon, our team of specialists will work with your own independent tax and legal advisors. Our goal is to add value through a comprehensive planning approach. Regular portfolio reviews will then be scheduled to monitor your investments and rebalance as necessary. We will also discuss any life changes that may have occurred and the opportunities and challenges that they may present. This is what all present and future clients can expect. I welcome the opportunity to work with you as your investment partner.

After graduating from Penn State University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, I was lucky enough to meet with an advisor who helped me to start saving and investing. Unfortunately, I soon realized that the financial services industry is full of advisors working for themselves, instead of their clients. Years of underperforming investments, along with a general lack of concern for my goals from several advisors, led me to manage my own investments. And later, while working for Lucent Technologies during the Dot-com years, I had the opportunity to attend Lehigh University and graduate with an MBA in Finance. MBA fresh in-hand, I decided to pursue a career in finance. I worked in NYC for Barclays Capital where I soon learned that I preferred working with individuals as opposed to large institutions. I co-founded Schuylkill Financial in order to help everyday people plan for their future. Our business is centered around developing and setting realistic goals with our clients. To do that we need to be passionate about our clients and responsive to their needs as we help them clarify their financial picture. When I am not in the office, I love spending time with my wife and children, doing just about anything outdoors. Hiking and mountain biking are at the top of my list and I can usually be identified as the guy toting one of my 2 little ones on my back and dog by my side on many of Downingtowns trails.
